"Between your heart and mouth, there is an ocean of lies and betrayals.
Between your mind and heart, there is an unbreakable, thick void."

"Between your heart and mouth, there is an ocean of lies and betrayals.
Between your mind and heart, there is an unbreakable, thick void."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
Success and failure led me to where I am today. I would like to say that it was for the better, that this twisted ending brought me where I'm meant to be, but I have it in me to doubt myself.
In spite of toxic men and the death and burial of friendships, I like to think that I have beaten all the demons that used to haunt me, because evil always wins, but not this time.
After first loves and tragic endings, summer loves and people in whom I watched myself loving again despite the pain, I think the advice I would give is to love yourself first.
Because, despite everything, no matter what, there are always stories to be told.

Athena
I'm cunning when it comes to wars.
I plan my wars wisely, and in the front lines you will always find me.
Maybe that is why all heroes come to me for advice.
And when I'm fighting, not even Ares and his army can defeat me.
Because I will stand up for those without a voice and fight against injustices until my bones turn to dust.
I will inspire poets and painters.
I will cry with the victims.
I will heal the wounded.
I will fight side by side with the casualties.
Born from thunder and storm, chaos and pain; a folk tale was taking shape.
A goddess arose from the ashes and shadows and became golden.
Karma takes all kinds of shapes, but this time it chose me.
Because this isn't revenge, this is justice.
And that is why they call me Athena.
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
Growing up
Please don't say you want to grow up.
When you are an adult, you have to face the monsters on your own and kill the bugs you are afraid of.
You must pursue your dreams until there is no more life left to live.
You will realize that achieving your goals comes with a high price, which you will have to pay with your entire time and life.
You will have to walk down the streets alone and protect yourself from the big, bad world.
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
Someone above in the stars will be looking for me.
Someone among the stars will be hoping I come back home.
Someone there, in the infinite cosmos, will be waiting for me.
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"Between my collarbone and mouth there are so many things I wanted to say, but I never did.
They are there, stuck in my throat every time I try to open myself to somebody.
But past nasty scars come back to me in flashes, so I just keep quiet."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"I hope these feelings don't drown me someday, they are quite a lot and it's just me against them all."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"So, the end of this story will read that she died of regrets and a heart disease.
Then, she will rest in a sacred place in the middle of nowhere while he forgets about her."
Athena Violante //The ones who could never stay.
"But, at the end of the day, if you ever think you were wrong about it all, I'm here where I have always been: sitting by the harbor, waiting for you to walk to me again."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"After all this, in the dead of night, I can still feel your shadows brushing past me.
Did you ever realize that I left your haunted house that endless night?"
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"I'm just a city girl who loves stars too fondly.
Even enough to become an astronomer, even though I have never seen the Milky Way.
Not fearless enough to walk on the edge of a mountain nonchalantly or step on stones that could fall even with the most careful touch."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"I used to think love was a poem I hadn't read yet.
Some kind of thing that exceeded me."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"And I just can't keep wondering if I love my loneliness for itself or because it's the only thing I know."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"After wasting my words, my pen refuses to write about you.
I guess it's the price you have to pay after all the injuries you have made me."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
Dead and buried
Don't come in five years time just to tell me you are sorry and you want to make amends. Our friendship is dead and buried a long time ago. I'm used to taking its grave carnations each year on its death anniversary and saying a prayer for it; hoping that wherever it is, it has found peace.
So when you see my quotes around the media, pretend that I don't exist. Pretend that is someone else who is writing about something you feel related to.
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"And I just hope I see you around next semester. Maybe then I can tell you my feelings and show you the butterflies that have made their home out of my stomach."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
"Once upon a time, there was anger painted on the floor and rain was falling at midnight.
I will be called crazy for writing about you, but this is how the world works: you stab me in the back, so I will turn your karma into ink.
At this rate, I'm going to choke with this poison I call hatred while I wait for my nemesis to get knocked down by their own fate.
The weight of their behavior should be really heavy, enough to send them to prison.
Anyway, I can see them walking peacefully through the bodies they have killed with as many witnesses as in Times Square."
Athena Violante // The ones who could never stay.
